The most important action taken by
the meeting last evening was In the
definite movement for Manufacturers
Aid association. This association, as To-
tended by the committee, will be reg
ularly Incorporated JOINT stock concern,
having for its objects the assistance OF
all feasible manufacturing and industrial
projects by taking stock in such project
ed industries to the extent that may be
decided upon by the directory when
chosen. This Aid association Is not in
tended to give bonuses to manufacture
ing plants, but to take shares OF stock In
such concerns, thus assuring the outside,
or inside, capital that embarks in such
enterprises the hearty cooperation Of
San Antonio as a party financially in
terested.
This Is the most important movement
yet made In connection with the work
OF the improvement committee, and 1t is
sincerely to be desired that the project
will meet with the hearty support and
encouragement of all of our citizens.
The plan of such stock company will
be submitted to the Improvement com
mittee at Its next regular meeting,
Nov. 4. When the matter is more fully
developed the LIGHT will have more to
say on the subject. Before adjOurning,
the committee by resolution, instituted
regular weekly meetings, which will
add to and keep alive the interest In
the work Of this committee of thirty.

Meeting The Billiards,

The time when we should prepare for
the winter is at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
expend his money to the best advantage,
and If he takes the trouble to enquire, he
soon finds that Wolfson's is the place,
because, in the first place, there is q
large stock of all kinds Of winter goods
to select from, and in the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has a large assortment
of blankets, white. cOlOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from $l.l5
10 500 per pair, and are In every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding of all kinds that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
Others have done, that you get good bar
gains at WOlfsOn's.
